5:48 am
important as it got more its friends and it got more expensive not only in dollars and cents or on the most papers i admire and in the radio station in the rear of all the world it was quite full. of. i think the essence of the struggle of the people in vehicles to rid themselves of being used to being abused being kept in the dark to get rid of that was such a liberating kind of thing and it was all down essentially. and how a tiny little island could face a force as powerful as we did was intriguing by not only intriguing i was really inspirational to a lot of people. our particular kind of struggle

5:51 am

5:52 am
those four days we managed only one that we were able to close the firing range. but they're not giving the land. nothing now. has it been decontaminated no nothing if they don't give back the land if they don't do contaminated how are we going to develop it. it can't be denied we're going to enter a critical period distinct from the previous phase when you could feel the airplanes you could feel the impacts felt your house vibrate it was irritating it was infuriating but now we're not going to feel the bombs we won't hear we won't see them we won't feel the house vibrating. but the pollution is there the
